What to expect
A tour to La Soufriere takes you along the picturesque windward (eastern) coast of the island. Our 1st stop would be at Arnos Vale where you will get to see the E.T Joshua airport (our old airport) and The Arnos Vale playing field (our stadium) where all the cricket matches are played – West Indies vs The rest of the world.
Carrying on our journey on the windward highway. This side of the island is the most developed side of St. Vincent and the Grenadines, where the majority of the hotel, bars and white sand beaches are. Our next quick photo stop will be at villa where you will get the see the beautiful Young Island. Young Island is where Johnny Depp and some of his cast mates stayed while they were filming the movie, The Pirates of the Caribbean.
We will then be driving through Georgetown where we will be making our last quick stop at the Rabacca dry river for photos then continuing on to where the foot trail begins. You travel along steep volcanic ridges verdant with bamboo and tropical trees.
After reaching the volcano there is a possible you might be able to climb down into the inside to get a closer look at the beautiful steaming doom. The “on top of the world feeling” and its marvelous view makes this site one not to pass by.
There are gazebos. washrooms, a site office and parking at Bamboo Range on the eastern trail.

This tour was one of the best in st Vincent. A must do. My 4yr old son enjoyed the hike to the volcano and we enjoyed the view of the island from the top. Mr Wayne and his team are very experienced and definitely made the trip an enjoyable one. Thank you.

Trip was very professional and well organized. Our way from Kingstown to the volcano slopes led along the south and then east (windward) coast of the island. We were accompanied by great views of the rocky cliffs and small bays of the Atlantic coast of St. Vincent. Our driver was very interesting about the places he passed. After an hour drive we arrived at the parking lot located on the eastern slope of the volcano, where we were handed over to the hands of an experienced guide (almost every day leads to the summit of the group), which at a steady pace, led our group to the edge of the summit crater. The hike led along a narrow path, mostly up the steps, through a tropical rain forest, where more and more ferns rose along with the height. Along the way we passed through two barren lava flow and reached the slopes of the volcano built in the loose pyroclastic. This part of the volcano bears traces of 1979 eruption. The 1979 eruption destroyed at least a third of the vegetation that covered the slopes of the volcano. However, the eruption gave opportunities to observe the re-colonization and succession of vegetation types unique to a small tropical volcanic island. After the last about 20 minutes of the steep climb we reached at the edge of the crater and we could look inside. An unforgettable view of the almost green lava dome filled much of the crater floor of Soufrière, worth a 2-hour climb. The weather was favorable, strong wind was blowing in the clouds and mist, so while climbing we were accompanied by a view of the east coast, and the crater overlooked the west Caribbean coast. After a short walk along the crater rim, efficient descent to the trail head and rest, we returned to Kingstown the same way. Along the way, we also managed to organize a short bath on the beach in Villa. We were 5 people traveling on a cruise and it was very easy to organize, especially with pickup and drop off. Highly recommended. Remember to bring good shoes because of the wet and slippery ground.
